Many of the clients who come to stay at these agencies don’t have the items they need to take care of their most basic needs. Most Americans take for granted that they have a toothbrush or soap, but imagine if you didn’t.

United Way had bath tub in front of the Human Services Campus, 317 7th Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids, and people stopped by to help us fill the tub with personal hygiene items.

Below is a list of items collected:

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Soap

Body wash

Shampoo/Conditioner

Deodorant

Lotions

Facial Tissue

Toilet Paper

Baby Wipes

Diapers of all Sizes

Feminine hygiene products

Disposable razors

Shaving cream

Combs and hair brushes

Cakes by Christopher, of the New Bo Market, supplied us with coupons to hand out to those who stop at United Way and make a donation on May 9.

Thank you to Habitat for Humanity’s Restore for donating a tub to fill for the day.
